Kanye West was pulled over by police for speeding this morning

The Stronger rapper, whose girlfriend Kim Kardashian is pregnant with their first child, was stopped by authorities earlier today after they spotted him accelerating down Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles leaving the Chateau Marmont hotel.

Gossip site TMZ reports that West, 35, was also questioned about the tinted windows on his car, however the rapper was let off lightly and given only a caution before the police sent him on his way.

Since announcing his and Kardashian's good news on stage in Atlantic City, West has reportedly agreed to continue filming for his girlfriend's reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and spin off show Kourtney And Kim Take Miami to show her how much he cares for her.

A source revealed: "Kanye will do anything for Kim. He didn't want to be on at all - or one episode. But he gave in for Kim."

Kardashian - who is said to be around 12 weeks pregnant - has shared how keen she is to find out the sex of their unborn child, but is more focused on it being healthy and well.

She said: "Of course I do want to know [the sex]. I can't find out yet, but I do want to know.
